   Step-by-step instructions :

You need to be in Modeling and do either step 1b (preselection) or step 3 (in-tool selection) to perform this operation. The following instructions assume that you are using a 3-button mouse.

1 . Before using this tool:

1a (optional) : You should set the selection filter to ' Group Member ' if you intend to do step 1b instead of step 3.

Select Items bindings (step 1b)

1b (optional) : In Select Items mode, left-click ( Select ) the one (1) group member that you want to isolate. When selected, the group member will be displayed in the User and Site Options > Modeling > " Primary selection color ," which by default is green.

2 . Invoke Isolate Group Member by Location using the following method:

Method 1 : Click the Isolate Group Member by Location icon, which is pictured above. The icon can be taken from the group named ' Model -- Group Member ' and placed on a toolbar (classic) or the ribbon (lightning).

Method 2 : If " Modeling layout style " is ' Classic ', you can use the menu system to choose Model > Group Member > Isolate Group Member by Location .

Method 3, 4 or 5 : Isolate Group Member by Location can also be configured to be invoked using a keyboard shortcut , the context menu , or a mode . For the lightning interface, this configuration is done using Customize Interface .

3 . Skip this step if you already selected a member in step 1b.

Select One Item bindings

3a (if you didn't preselect) : You are now prompted to use Select One Item mouse bindings to left-click ( Select ) the one group member you want to isolate. This prompting also occurs if more than one group member is selected or if, for example, a material or bolt is selected. This step can be performed regardless of the selection filter.

4 . The program opens preset view number 0 for the particular group member you selected. Preset view number 0 is that member's " MAIN VIEW ." The group member is displayed per User and Site Options > Modeling > " Member isolation solid display type ."

Tip: To exit member isolation, press the " OK " button on the Isolate Member toolbox.
